While most child characters on South Park are foul-mouthed, Kenny is often even more risqué with his dialogue. Parker and Stone state that they depict Kenny and his friends in this manner in order to display how they claim young boys really talk when they are alone. While sometimes cynical and profane, Parker still notes that there is an "underlying sweetness" aspect to the character, and Time magazine described Kenny and his friends as "sometimes cruel but with a core of innocence". He is amused by toilet humor and bodily functions, and his favorite television personalities are Terrance and Phillip, a Canadian duo whose comedy routines on their show-within-the-show revolve substantially around fart jokes. Kenny is also lecherous, and often portrayed as being eager to do and say disgusting things in an attempt to impress others.
Kenny is a fourth-grade student who commonly has extraordinary experiences not typical of conventional small-town life in his fictional hometown of South Park, Colorado, where he lives with his relatively poor family. Kenny comes from a poor household, presided over by his violent, alcoholic and unemployed parents, Stuart and Carol McCormick. Kenny has an older brother, Kevin, and an unspecified younger female sharing Kevin's features has been shown amongst his family in the season nine episode "Best Friends Forever", without having made an appearance in another episode before or since. When addressing fan speculation that the girl was Kenny's sister, series co-creator Matt Stone merely stated that the character was a "mystery". Kenny is friends with Stan and Kyle, and has indicated that he maintains a friendship with Cartman solely out of pity. Kenny is regularly teased for living in poverty, particularly by Cartman. When it comes to sexually related subjects, he is the most knowledgeable of the group, and the others will typically ask for his explanation of sexual matters unknown to them.
Kenny is usually depicted wearing an orange parka. The hood is always tightly drawn, leaving only his eyes exposed. Sometimes, when he is frightened, he will tighten the cords on his hood to hide even more of his face. As a result of the hood covering his mouth, all of Kenny's spoken lines are heavily muffled. While his friends can understand him easily, adult residents often have problems understanding Kenny's speech, requiring the others to translate for him.
